As well as falling leaves, cooler days and warmer jackets, September sees the return of students.

And to welcome the bright young minds to Cambridge, The Grafton Centre is holding a student night as part of the annual Freshers' fun.

Freshers' events will be taking place across the city. Students will be able to shop to their hearts’ content on Wednesday September 27, with a whole host of one-night-only entertainment, discounts, prizes and more on offer from 5pm to 8pm.

Open to sixth formers and university students, shoppers will be able to get more for their money at The Grafton Centre.

These students got involved in some Top-Shopping!

John O'Shea, manager at the Grafton Centre said: “This is our way of saying welcome to the thousands of new students moving to Cambridge and welcome back to so many familiar faces,

“We’ve got a great range of activity, food, discounts and competitions for everyone to take part and get involved with and we can’t wait. Our student nights always prove hugely popular and we’re expecting this to be no different.”

Student shoppers will be entertained with music from an unusual source: a camper van. It will be blasting out the tunes throughout the evening.

Shopping can be hungry work so stop off for a fajitas

Shopping is hungry work, so The Grafton will also play host to a mocktail tiki bar and street food specialists Nanna Mexico, who will be serving up a variety of Latin American delights.

John O'Shea added: “We’re pulling out all of the stops to make this an evening to remember.

“Our great retailers have really got in to the spirit and there will be some brilliant offers and discounts to help the all-important student loan go even further.

Last years students were absolutely loving the discounts

"We can’t wait to welcome thousands of students. It’s going to be a fantastic evening at The Grafton.”

Retail favourites Next will also be running a competition to win £50 to spend in store.

The Grafton Student Night will be taking place on Wednesday September 27 from 5pm to 8pm.
